Supportability had definitely crossed my mind, so the clarification is both 
timely and appreciated.  

Thanks!

Caution! This message was sent from outside your organization.

It probably doesn't apply to this case, but if the documentation for a service 
says "invoke it this way" (and I don't just mean a "recommendation" or a 
"suggestion") and you choose to try something else that you think is 
equivalent, you are in unsupported territory. Do what you will; the risk is 
yours (and your site's).

There can be system integrity concerns with invoking something authorized in a 
way that it does not intend, when done by an authorized invoker. That could 
apply to an AC=1 program that you choose to invoke by (for example) LINK from 
an APF-authorized program.
